T.J. Green shares motivational PFF stat showing improvement

T.J. Green may not be the first name that comes to mind when thinking about the Indianapolis Colts’ secondary, but the team is giving him a chance to prove his worth as they switch schemes.

General manager Chris Ballard chose to stay out of the big-name free agency signings this offseason, which means that Green could get another chance in 2018.

While he has had some issues throughout his first two NFL seasons and the naked eye may not see much improvement, the potential might be there.

Green took to Twitter to share a post from Pro Football Focus on his improvement from his first NFL season to last year. The improvement is undeniable and should excite fans in Indianapolis to see what he can bring to the table in his third season, even if he played a limited amount of snaps in 2017.

Last season with the Colts, Green ended up recording 45 total tackles to go along with one defended pass. He is listed as a safety, but may be asked to play some time at the cornerback position unless more talent is brought in. The Colts are extremely thin in the secondary, which could give Green an opportunity.

At just 23 years of age, there is no denying that Green has the physical ability to become a very good player for the Colts.

Coming out of Clemson in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Colts decided to take Green in the second round. He was a raw talent, but was a hard-hitting defensive back that showed big potential at times in college.

Green may not have developed as quickly as some were hoping, but Ballard and company are obviously intrigued by what the future could hold for him.

He may never become a star, but there is no denying that the opportunity is there for Green to be a big piece of the Indianapolis defense if he can find his full potential.
